- veber-alex 5y agoYou should not be using the RLS extension, it hasn't been updated in over a year. Instead you should use rust-analyzer which will soon become the official rust extension. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad....
- School-Cotton 5y agoSorry, had to downvote this as I know people who have gotten burned by installing this plugin in the past and got confused by why their setup was so broken. What you really want is to install the rust-analyzer plugin, not the Rust plugin.
- SquibblesRedux 5y agoThanks - you have just improved my programming life. Just the ability to see the implicit types is awesome.
- halpert 5y agoI actually use rust-analyzer, but I’m not a hardcore Rust developer, and I wasn’t even aware there were two plugins. I picked the first result off of Google. The fact that the first result is a bad plugin seems like an issue with the Rust community.
- School-Cotton 5y agoIt’s an issue with VSCode, not the the Rust community. Microsoft is pushing their developed-in-house Rust plugin as the default.
- steveklabnik 5y ago> Microsoft is pushing their developed-in-house Rust plugin as the default. I find this comment very confusing. Neither plugin was developed by Microsoft. The "rust" extension generally comes up first because it's older and has significantly more downloads. That being said, it's true that imho everyone should use the new one.
- School-Cotton 5y agoYou’re right. I was simply mistaken and thought it was published by Microsoft.
